WORKS FOR ME!!!! Like a charm!!! Heck, I even named it "DPerson" in honor
of the one Linda made, and put it in its own folder called "DSource" in my
Data Sets folder. When I did the merge, I merely appended Data Set B
(DPerson) to Data Set A (the real one). It will mean adding each new
source in two places until I get all my data Sets in, but that sure beats
retyping that Master Source List over and over and over and . . . . . I
think I saw something earlier on the list about doing this or something
similar, but somehow I didn't understand until I read your note, Linda.
Thank you lots; you're a lifesaver!!
